The floating clamp is particular to the bikes with the suspension in the sissy bars from what i've been able to find out. They allow the seat to pivot correctly when the suspension is still floating yet clamps to the seat post securely. Most of the high dollar Krate seats have them on Ebay...

Looking to buy the following: complete Krate springer forks and front fenders for a 1970 Krate 20" S2 Rim

All I need are the Head Badge and Seat Post stickers now.

Still on the way is a 70 front wheel and...

I ended up finding one on Ebay, expensive but It's mint.

So far, I've got the correct bars, grips, seat post, sissy bar, seat post clamp, sissy bar clamps, Q bolts, and a reflector on the way. I'm looking for the top clamp that attaches the seat to the seat post. The floating clamp. Can't seem to find one. Anyone have one?

I said to myself I wasn't going to do it, but I did and have caught the bug. It's all you people's fault. Especially @Krash lol. I ended up with this. October 1970 Schwinn Apple Krate. I believe it's a coaster model. Since I'm just moving along slowly with the Dragster, and am waiting for the...

Oh yeah, in other news, I was able to pick up a 1966 Liberty Cycles Cyclone with a excellent condition polo seat on it so I can switch the seat out.

So I've been a bit busy, but I did do some tear down and a quick wash. Things seem to be cleaning up nice. No answer from that company that had the Duro tires on their website. Probably a drop ship company from the factory. Before I go full repaint on this, I'm going to see how far I can...

Thanks, that was a huge help, I was able to find out that it's from 1966.

oh and that first letter is a M

So yeah, I wasn't going to buy anything until I finished the Dragster but umm, I ended up with an original Liberty Cycles out of Chicago Girls Cyclone muscle bike. I'm trying to figure out what year it was made. Also can anyone tell me if these frames were made by Chicago Schwinn or Murray...

band shirts, hmm yeah I still collect those kind of forgot about it. I have boxes full from concerts. Most have never been worn or worn once or twice. I was actually trying to talk the wife into making me a comforter out of a bunch so I could throw it in the van. When I think of all the ones...

Thanks for all the info so far, I like the look of the Huffy's but unfortunately they don't match the orignal knobby pattern for the OG tire. Mine has too much dry rot in the sidewalls to keep on, and I'm looking for riders. I've already got the front from Duro. I messaged that company Rebcobdp...

wow! that's pretty much over twice what they go for. I'm not that desperate yet for a tire. I'm a noob when it comes to bicycles, how often does Alta make tires does the shortage happen often or do you think this is from the covid thing?

Looking for an Alta Duro 20 x 2.125 Black/black sidewall knobby tire. Does anyone know who has them or how often they make them? Can't find any on Ebay, or with the Google-Fu.

Alright, today I put the bike on the stand, started disassembly. It got a bit dark for more pics but I'll take some more tomorrow. after carefully removing the front tire from the rim, just for S&G's I checked to see if the tube would hold air. HA! IT DOES!

I scored this polo seat reflector today. NOS. Also my bike stand arrived last night. So I will be cleaning and disassembling the bike this weekend. I'll document everything, and be posting up here.

Looking for this particular head badge decal, anyone have one they might be willing to part with?

thanks for checking, I appreciate it.
